Jeremy Lin 2010 Scouting Report by Mark Fenn

The performances by Jeremy Lin recently have the basketball world wondering, why did no one recognize Jeremy Lin's talent? Daryl Morey from the Rockets, who picked up Hasheem Thabeet, said no one could have predicted that Jeremy Lin would have had this big of an impact in the NBA. Even CBS Sports recently released an article called, "Lin's Explosion onto NBA makes you wonder what others didn't see in him."

Well, let's just say that ONE person got it right. His name is Mark Fenn who tweets on his personal account more than he writes for Streetball.com. However, this is one Streetball article that proves game recognize game. You can follow @BLMarkFenn on Twitter for future basketball insights. Back in 2010, Mark Fenn covered the NBA Summer League games of the Dallas Mavericks. Here is what he wrote in July of 2010 about Jeremy Lin.

The scouting report below is word for word what was written in July 2010.

"Jeremy Lin: The 6-3, 200-pound four-year undrafted PG from Harvard has come from out of nowhere to all of the sudden going man-to-man with No. 1 pick John Wall in what turned out to be one of the better NBA summer league games of the tournament. I had a quick chance to interview Jeremy Lin - and even got him to try out my new sunglasses."

"Through all five games Jeremy Lin established himself as not only someone who belonged on the court, but it was clear he was in complete control with the flow of the game on the court and his leadership skills and ability to simply make plays was very noticeable."

"Jeremy Lin is the kind of player that makes others around him better and as we know, those kinds of guys are not easy to find. The best Mavs combination was when Roddy, Dojo and Lin were all on the court at the same time with Lin and Dojo doing more of the play making. Keep an eye on Jeremy Lin as he showed natural basketball instincts combined with a good frame and ability to stay in front of his player defensively (had back-to-back blocks in 1st game on same play)."

"Sounds crazy, but I believe Jeremy Lin has the whole package to be an effective point guard at the NBA level, starting next season. I don't know where Mavs have room, but for someone, he's a perfect third guard and depending on his development (he needs to work on outside shooting) he can become a serviceable if not better-than-that NBA point guard. He emulates his game after Steve Nash...not a bad one to pattern game off of." - Mark Fenn, Co-Founder of Brand Legendary

Funny thing was I told Lin he reminded me of a right handed Goran Dragic and during Sports Illustrated's Linsanity story, Lin himself made that exact same comparison. This was two years later by the way. Pretty Cool.
